Among the incidents belonging to the day of the Inauguration, we note with pleasure, from the feelings which induced it, the following:
Mr. Isaac Newton, an enterprising farmer of Springfield, Delaware county, Pennsylvania, on the morning of the day, presented to the General a 'fatted calf,' most neatly dressed by his own hands at his residence, and which he brought to this city well preserved, boxed up in ice. The animal was one of the finest of his kind. It was five months old, and weighed 384 lbs. The presentation was accompanied by a very brief, well timed, and well expressed address by Mr. Newton. The gift was received by the President Elect in the same spirit which prompted its bestowal: attended by his thanks to Mr. N. for his kindness in making it, and an expression of his great regard for the agricultural interests of the country.—Nat. Intel.
